A virtual stitch and bitch sounds great! I haven’t been knitting much recently and it would probably feel good to. Stress knitting always helps, right?

fourth? fifth? times a charm. Time to start seaming.

We can use the OMD discord server, or Google hangouts also works for me. Or I can set up a zoom thing, I think you can join one of those and just use your username as your name if you enter through a link

Yesss! I’m on the verge of a new yarn order, first time in ages, and would love to knit with you all!

I’d be interested! No idea what I’d work on during the call because I’m no good at knitting while talking.

I recommend something that does not require counting.

Or even winding yarn into a ball, if you have any that needs to be wound

I save my ends-weaving for my crochet group.

Ends weaving is perfect for group craftchat.

I didn’t realize until now that Discord allows video chat as well as voice chat. I’d be happy to do a craftchat in the Discord server! We all should have access already (if you don’t, let me know and I’ll PM people the link!) and it’d be fun to get the voice channel over there bumping. :confetti_ball::tada:

I don’t post here often, but I’m here reading a lot. I also knit and would like to join a video group. I don’t have any experience or knowledge of discord.

It looks like we can video chat with up to 9 people!

I’ve used Discord text chat, but not video or voice. PM me the link and I’ll join, but I can’t promise to be involved unless something is scheduled ahead of time that I can attend!

Yeah, I think we should deffo schedule ahead of time, especially because we have so many time zones. It might be easier for us to set up two separate craft sessions, one in an evening time range and one in a morning time range, to better accommodate the fact that lots of us lives thousands of miles from each other.

I’m interested, too! I’d need the link whenever a session gets scheduled.

Sweet! I remember you as not being in North America – is that correct? If so, let me know your time zone so I can Make It Work :smiley:

Ha, I WISH! I’m on the East Coast of the US.

Ngl that makes things way easier, hahaha

I look forward to your sparkleskillz, galliver.

I am up for a craft gathering except for the 22nd, where I have tickets to a socially distant art thing.

In other news, I tried to seam the pullover, and it turns out it does actually need reverse mattress stitch instead of my usual method of winging it. So I’ll put that aside for a day with a lot of attention and calmness.

And I’ve cast on a https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/whakairo-top because I am a sucker for small twisted cables these days. Didn’t swatch, and the yarn is a bit busy, so I’m hoping that I don’t regret my hasty decisions.

I follow her IG – her designs are so pretty. Yes to all the little smol cables!
